Escherichia coli DNA synthesis in vitro: insensitivity of ATP-dependent DNA repair to inhibition by novobiocin.

P K Schneck, W L Staudenbauer
PMCID: PMC342542  PMID: 197497

Abstract

Novobiocin, an effective inhibitor of DNA replicaion in Escherichia coli, is shown to have no effect on the ATP-dependent DNA repair carried out by toluenized cells after ultraviolet irradiation. Therefore novobiocin can be considered a selective inhibitor of replicative DNA synthesis in vitro.
